Barcelona: Bike Tour

We decided that the best way to learn the layout of the city, since this one is a bit bigger and more spread out than Madrid, was to go on a bike tour.






The Barri Gotic is a tightly built quarter with buildings separated by alleyways. We wove through the streets, and then would randomly run into an open square (similar to Madrid) where all the activity would be.





A bit overcast the day we hit the beach.



Bustling with people, so much fun!



Some may recall that the day all three of us landed in Madrid there was a huge plane crash. All flags were flying at half mast during our trip in memory of the hundreds that died that day.



The Placa del Rei where Christopher Columbus was welcomed home after discovering the Americas.















On the walls of the stadium where bull fighting remains a Sunday afternoon pastime, protestors have thrown red paint.
